Install RVM problems

Hello,

I spend some time installing rvm, however, my cmd does simply not find "rvm" as a command.

I used the code from rvm.io: curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

This is my output: % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 10648 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:04 --:--:-- -152BA SH 3.2.25 required (you have 3.1.17(1)-release) 100 10648 100 10648 0 0 2482 0 0:00:04 0:00:04 --:--:-- 7890

I cannot find any .bash_profiles and so on as suggested in the video's either. Can anybody help me out and or at least give me hints on how to fix it?

@Daniel -

What's your goal here? What OS are you using?

Is your goal perchance to install rails, if so just use RailsInstaller


rvm is used on OS X because, OS X ships with whatever version of ruby is current at that time.

A lot of mac users like to use one-click installers for rails, which install whatever version of Ruby is current when the installer was made, thus a version conflict and using rvm.

Thank you for the information, I was confused because I wanted to make sure to have all updates and patches and panicked that I have to update and check all the updates. No wonder that it didn't work, I am using windows.

Try using the RailsInstaller download for Windows. That should fix everything :)

You had curl installed on Windows? You can do that, in fact I've used it sometimes because on Windows.

But it's not installed by default on Windows.
